A calm house in a sunny countryside where the days repeat themselves. A woman arrives in the quiet village and rents the house; then a little girl vanishes during a violent, unexpected summer storm that makes the doors bang and the foundations shake, and the earth-floored cellar seems to hold, in murmurs closer to weeping than to song, the remains or the living memory of the missing child. Ten years later it all happens again: a man moves into the same house, a girl disappears, and the same neighbours go about the same routines. The novel tells everything twice, as if every life were a repetition of another.
